The 23 members of the winning team will take home $270,000 (252,000 euros), part of a total prize of $110 million, which is about 300% higher than what FIFA offered for the 2019 tournament.
In March, FIFA president, Gianni Infantinopromised at the FIFA Congress that organizers will hand out prize money to the players, a first for the women’s tournament, which starts on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand.

FIFPRO said the news “represents not only the result of massive global collective action by 150 national team players but also constructive negotiations with FIFA in recent months.” “We have listened to the players’ voice and taken steps towards greater gender equality in our sport at the highest level,” the world soccer players’ union said in a statement.
